City-Business Climate Alliance Maturity Model
The 4-stage maturity model for city-business partnerships is a guidance document for cities to assess the maturity of their local city-business engagement. The maturity model is segmented into four successional stages: Recognition, Formation, Development, and Sustained Operation. Cities can determine which stage in the model they are at by assessing their activities, staffing allocation, project financing, and overall partnership governance structure. There is also advice for how a city can move on to the next stage of the maturity model.
City-Business Climate Alliance Guidebook
This publication is designed for city governments who recognise that by working together with their local business community, they are better prepared to address the challenges of climate change.
By using this guide and building strong partnerships through a City-Business Climate Alliance, cities will have a better understanding of their climate-related goals that need private sector collaboration, which to prioritise and which partners are best placed to help them achieve these. Cities will also be equipped with the knowledge to create partnerships that are well-governed, financially viable and which facilitate further and faster action on climate change.
